Carriere, Kevin R. "“We Are Book Eight”: Dialoging the collective imagination through literary fan activism." Culture & Psychology 24, no. 4 (August 28, 2018): 529–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1354067x18796805.
Full textAbstract:
This paper will explore how individuals employ imagination through collective action. First, I will outline a definition of imagination, focusing on how the dialogic nature of imagination provides an overarching framework for individuals focused on producing change. Next, I will discuss symbolic resources as a way to link one’s imagination with another’s. Qualitative interviews from The Harry Potter Alliance will be examined as a case where collective action is taken through shared resources. It will highlight how placing real-world issues in dialogue with imaginary constructs can assist in sharing imaginations toward worlds of what-if. Discussions around the relational aspect of collective imagination will end the paper.

Wang, Xiliang. "The Imagination of Alchemy: A Chinese Response to Catholicism in Late Ming and Early Qing." Religions 14, no. 12 (December 8, 2023): 1521. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/rel14121521.
Full textAbstract:
As a common cultural phenomenon in China and the West, alchemy not only embodies the scientific spirit of people before modern times, but also contains certain religious beliefs, and even creates unrealistic secular imaginations. When Catholicism entered China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Chinese also projected this imagination of alchemy onto the missionaries. Behind this imagination actually lays the strong interest of Chinese people in the financial resources of the missionaries. On the one hand, there is the historical influence of traditional Chinese alchemy, and on the other hand, there is the curiosity caused by the lifestyle of missionaries in China. The imagination of alchemy not only reflects a historical aspect of the encounter between China and the West during the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also reflects a complex social psychology of mixed curiosity, panic, suspicion, and vigilance in pre-modern China.

Sari, Retno Purwani, Cece Sobarna, Eva Tuckyta Sari Sujatna, and Nani Darmayanti. "Repetition in Children Stories: A Dynamic Aspect of a Persuasive Strategy." International Journal of Linguistics 9, no. 6 (December 1, 2017): 28. http://dx.doi.org/10.5296/ijl.v9i6.12100.
Full textAbstract:
The patterning of repetitions, such a persuasive strategy, proposes the involvement of author’s emotion. Therefore, it potentially stimulates children’s emotion and imagination to explore their own thoughts and to learn to understand their world while reading. By investigating interpersonal relation involved, repetitions show participants’ attitudes. Thus, this study concentrates on how they work on children’s emotion and imagination, using pragma-stylistic approach. The focus itself is managed to answer the creation of meaning. In order to challenge the objective, this study was applied analytic descriptive qualitative method to 36 data of repetitions. By reviewing empirical indications, this study claims that repetitions reach emphatic prominence involving logical emphasis and emotional state. Both of them invest accumulation of ideas to promote emotion and expectation; leading to imagination in evaluating appropriateness to behave in the society. Consequently, repetitions are debatable as a rhetorical device to persuade children to adapt social values.

Full textAbstract:
The main question of this article is why imagine other worlds. In addition to shedding light on the motivation, we also examine the imaginative processes, their resources and the associative arrangements available to imagination in the construction of new worlds. We see ‘other worlds’ as both utopian and as fantastic spaces, following the hypothesis that the space of fantasy is never entirely free. We place particular emphasis on the space and time of utopia, and on the aspect of the novelty. The paper is divided into four parts. The first takes into account the path to the other world, or the methodical problem of imagination. The second wants to portray the other world, or the limitations to imagining something entirely different and new. The third part inquires about the cost of utopian thinking: what is lost in the process, what is sacrificed to its flattening gestures? Finally, despite all these limitations, in the fourth part we consider the significance of utopian thought for social theory.

Full textAbstract:
The paper analyses Paul Ricoeur’s concept of creative imagination and shows how this essential element of human consciousness determines personal and societal identity and how it can be a source of just social norms and of ‘good life’ (vie bonne). The imagination, which is characterized by semantic innovations and a heuristic function, creates a dynamic narrative defining a human being and opens as specific rationality surpassing purely argumentative rationality and allowing to solve conflicts of social norms. The ethical aspect of this process, implying a triple structure I/other/just institutiones, creates conditions for the realization of the dialectic of justice and love in the political space; due to the dialectic, innovative ways for the realization of social justice become possible. Critical questions intended to open up the perspective for further thinking are posed at the end of the paper.

Full textAbstract:
It is proposed that explaining religion in evolutionary terms is a misleading enterprise because religion is an indissoluble part of a unique aspect of human social organization. Theoretical and empirical research should focus on what differentiates human sociality from that of other primates, i.e. the fact that members of society often act towards each other in terms of essentialized roles and groups. These have a phenomenological existence that is not based on everyday empirical monitoring but on imagined statuses and communities, such as clans or nations. The neurological basis for this type of social, which includes religion, will therefore depend on the development of imagination. It is suggested that such a development of imagination occurred at about the time of the Upper Palaeolithic ‘revolution’.

"The way of considering the masculine and the feminine in the language is closely related to linguistic conventions. The well-normed uses in the different languages have, beyond the purely grammatical aspect, a cognitive influence which contributes to apprehending the feminine and the masculine in a gendered way or not. We propose for this study to rely on different linguistic uses of genders in some European languages belonging to different linguistic groups. These linguistic differences today give rise to debates on the social and cultural level. We will seek here to show that the cultural aspect and the linguistic aspect are not independent of each other, on the contrary, they are strongly linked and interact in the social representation and the masculine/feminine imagination."

Full textAbstract:
Many have found relief from their inner turmoil by using art therapy. Blending art therapy with introspective contemplation allows one to get a fresh understanding of one's innermost senses. Art therapy uses an artistic approach over the creative toolkits and fosters a more intuitive approach by trying new mediums, methods, and hues. Art therapy has been demonstrated to alleviate stress, sadness, and anxiety. Group art therapy is a type of art therapy that is conducted in a group setting. This type of therapy can be particularly beneficial for people struggling with social anxiety or struggling to express their emotions in a group setting. Problem-solving and critical thinking are only a few creative talents that might benefit from art therapy. Individuals may grow their imagination and learn to approach problems by tinkering with various methods. This study reflects the gain in self-confidence and optimising the psychological complications using art therapy.

Full textAbstract:
In contemporary Irish Society there is considerable uneasiness about both the existence of and threats to the ‘patriarchal dividend’ (O'Connell, 1995a: 82). It is suggested that this wider social and cultural context, characterised by male dominance of key institutions, militates against the identification of gender related private troubles as public issues. Burawoy's (2005) focus on the public aspect of each of the four types of sociology he identifies (viz., policy, critical, public and professional sociology) is used as a framework to explore the recent contribution made by sociologists in Ireland to the identification of gender as such a public issue. The article concludes that, by not explicitly focusing on it their contribution as agenda setters has been more limited than it might otherwise have been.

Abstract: If the very act of speaking back against colonial tropes has itself become an aspect of mainstream SF that cynically distorts the force and significance of the concept of decolonization while simultaneously serving as a way to avoid engaging with SF's own historical connection to colonialism, then how may we answer the crucial question that, as insists, artists and scholars must continue to ask themselves and answer in new ways: "what makes [Indigenous Futurisms] different from more mainstream science fiction?" This essay seeks to make a contribution to what must necessarily be a series of engagements with and answers to this question that together help us not just understand what indigenous futurisms are but also what they do. It is the latter relation to which this essay accords particular significance. Examining the temporality of IF, for instance, both on an epistemological and on a formal level, allows us not only to draw one important distinction between IF and what we may understand as settler futurism, but we are also able to catch one glimpse of the striking artistic, political, and social possibility of IF in our time.

Lo, Yimon. "‘A Tale of Silent Suffering’: Wordsworth’s Poetics of Silence and its Function of Reintegration." English: Journal of the English Association 69, no. 264 (2020): 25–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/english/efz051.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Silence is an important aspect of Wordsworth’s treatment of sound and the auditory imagination. With different emphases, a number of critics have attended to the significance of silence in Wordsworth’s poetry. Various other scholars have addressed the notion of community in Wordsworth’s silence. Their readings encourage a reappraisal of Wordsworth’s poetics of silence as a mode of mournful reconciliation with forgotten communities. Alert to the ambiguities and contingencies in Wordsworth’s consolatory vision, my argument reinforces the social and communal function of silence rather than evaluating its achievement of compensation or reassurance in respect of loss and suffering. My reading engages with the emergent critical interest in Wordsworth’s use of negativity to offer a renewed perspective on how Wordsworth poeticizes the negative quality that silence lends to sound and mobilizes the idea of unattainable silence. Through debunking the conventional dualistic perception of sound and silence, my essay redefines the concept of auditory presence and absence to evaluate Wordsworth’s poetics of silence in terms of its effectiveness as a medium for social, spiritual, and imaginative reintegration.

Full textAbstract:
This article introduces the concept of ‘gang glocalization’ to capture the processes by which global media myths and conventions create and shape local gang realities. The different stages of gang glocalization, and the motives to engage in this process, are examined by comparison of two empirical cases – Congolese gangs in Brussels and Afro-Caribbean gangs in London. This multi-sited ethnography finds that youth use fiction and imagination in order to create individual and collective gang identities. Police and political action against gangs is then informed by the same fiction and imagination, resulting in new gang realities based not on what is real. We find that mythmaking is an essential aspect of gangs – without the myth there is no gang – and that imagination is at the core of some of its most harmful activities, namely spectacular symbolic violence. This is an update on Thrasher’s (1927) old themes. The driving forces behind gang glocalization are emotions and desires tied to lived experiences of social and cultural exclusion. Implications for research and practice follow.

This article tries to understand Islamic reformation movements in the modern era based on two points of views: internal and external aspects. On the one hand, based on the internal aspect, Muslims need to reform their social structure and mental attitudes in arranging their socio-political lift by reforming their religious understanding which is accordance with their developing logics and imagination. In the other hand, based on the external aspect, it is because of the development of 'the economic-political authorities' in this modern era, i.e. a system of nation state, democartion, human ghts and modem capitalism. The changes force Muslims to reform their ways of thinking toward their religious orthodoxy, traditions, and intellectual treasury. To understand reformation movements could not be separated from their historical contexts because the reformation movements are not monolitic. They have various forms and different purposes. However, the religious understanding could not also be separated from the intellectual development and the challenges of life faced by Muslim societies.

Full textAbstract:
The long-form television drama series Hannibal (Fuller 2013–2015) thematises the embodied imagination and the elicitation of empathy and ethical understanding at the level of narrative and characterisation as well as through character engagement and screen aesthetics. Using Hannibal as a case study, this research investigates how stylistic choices frame the experiences of screen characters and engender forms of intersubjectivity based on corporeal and cognitive routes to empathy; in particular, it examines the capacity for screen media to facilitate what neuroscientist Vittorio Gallese terms intercorporeality. As a constitutive aspect of intersubjectivity and social understanding that works through embodied simulation, intercorporeality invites a reconceptualisation of empathy and its association with ethical motivation and insight. Hannibal also introduces cannibalism as a dark metaphor for the incorporation of another into oneself, reflecting on empathy's ill-understood potential for negative affect and unethical consequences.

Full textAbstract:
This article analyzes the “GAIA journey”, an initiative hosted by the Presencing Institute (PI) between March and June 2020, by discussing its precedents in terms of social art, and its potential for facilitating social change as a container in which a multitude of communities of practice can re-imagine the future.
GAIA (Global Activation of Intention and Action) emerged during and in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic and associated lockdown. It aimed to virtually bring together communities to bear witness to the current moment as a way of mobilizing social change. It included online and offline interaction, both local and global, but this article focuses only on the online-global aspect of the journey.
Our hypothesis is that GAIA is a contemporary instance of “social art” as initially conceptualized, among others, by Henry David Thoreau in the 19th century and Joseph Beuys in the 20th. Their seminal ideas have been put into use, developed in several cycles of iteration, and upscaled by Otto Scharmer and his colleagues at the MIT and the PI.
Methods include a review of the literature, textual analysis, participant observation (Antonio Casado da Rocha took part in the whole journey), and qualitative analysis of recordings from seven live sessions over the fourteen-week duration of GAIA, in which 13,000 people from 77 countries participated.

Full textAbstract:
Public perception and imagination tend to view natural disasters and catastrophes as phenomena that impact everyone equally. However, they do not occur in a historical, political, economic or social vacuum. Every phase and aspect of a disaster - its causes, vulnerability, preparedness, aftermath, response, reconstruction, the scope of the disaster and the price paid in the end are, to a lesser or greater extent, socially conditioned. Natural disasters actually replicate and amplify existing social inequalities and their effects. Such was also the case with hurricane Katrina. Black people, the poor, the elderly... remained in sunken New Orleans because their economic and social exclusion diminished their possibility to escape the disaster (the same way it diminished their opportunity to escape poverty). Had Katrina been a mere accident of geography and ecology, it would have been possible to peacefully await the resolution of its aftermath. However, because the inequalities which Katrina made apparent have deep socio-historical roots, it was illusory to expect that they would be repaired by the public policies on offer. Because of this, Katrina remains a powerful reminder to those advocating for a more just and democratic society.

Full textAbstract:
Historically STFT Fajar Timur has evolved in cooperation and immersion within the spirit of synod. It is the spirit of partnership, participation and mission. In its historical dynamic, STFT Fajar Timur has embraced five modes of synod . They are the synod between STFT Fajar and: universal church, the local church, local society, the state and all human beings. However, it seems that historical challenge, eclesicatical change and social progress have shifted the intensity of its synod. Unfortunately, certain element is eventually disappearing. The missing synodal element is the communion with all human beings (female and male, lay people and priest candidate). The question is to what extent, STFT Fajar Timur is able to reorganize its institution to remain capturing the fundamental aspect of synodal life in its academic vibration. Principally, it must firmly stand on five pivotal aspects: the education as a community of dialogue, trust, self-examination, citizen of the global and narrative imagination.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the development of this fiction, Nuruddin Farah exposes the issues of the sphere of origin. In fact, the run of Sardines exhibits the question of the patriarchal reality of ideas, and then, emphasizes a feminine self-consciousness, which through its evolutionary source and perfecting method disrupts the traditional construction of narrative-based essentially on custom of symbol. Through the implemented study of a new feminine ontological aspect, the logic of Sardines remains in a realistic and structural redefinition of social epistemology. In this line, within the realm of social agency, the feminine new ontological discourse dismantles the macro-structural establishment within which identity is constructed. In this perspective, this paper aims to focus on voluntary feminine emancipation and its psychological and cognitive value. Furthermore, through the discourse of a new politics of identity, this paper seeks to unveil the manner socio-political conservatism reality annihilates the truth of the individual. Therefore, the consequence of this article is expected to underscore the feminine approach of a new historical materialism.It remains an attempt to display the implied practical mode of communication, which appears different from the apparent reality of the patriarchal mode, the manner Farah creates a discourse of reconstruction and a scientific observation of the real.

Full textAbstract:
In order for social interactions in general, and empathic understanding in particular to be carried out optimally, an adjustment of the common representations is necessary. If projecting the traits of the self upon others does not require the storage of knowledge about them, empathic understanding necessarily presupposes the inclusion of the catacteristics of others in the personal self. However, empathy means no complete overlap or confusion of one’s emotions with others, so mental flexibility becomes an important aspect of empathy. The individual needs to calibrate his own perspective, which is activated by interaction with the other, or even by his mere imagination. This calibration involves the involvement of executive functions that are mediated by the prefrontal cortex

The increasing and extreme weather phenomena observed in the Mediterranean basin are only one aspect of the problem which has broader effects on population, structures and infrastructure.Each of these aspects is itself characterized by a wide variety of issues, which are increasingly leading studies toward a multidimensional assessment of impacts (economic, social and environmental). In this study, we focus on the impact related to the increase in extreme weather events in a specific area characterized by typical vernacular architecture: the “trabocchi” of the Italian Adriatic coast, whose identification as cultural heritage is the result of historical events and social dynamics closely linked to the collective imagination and for which inclusion as intangible cultural heritage in the UNESCO World heritage List has been requested. The weather event investigation was performed considering both long-term large-scale (using the ERA5 dataset) analysis and short-term small-scale (models and ground-based sensors) analysis. The results provide an overview of the event dynamics and enhanced understanding of the area’s vulnerability factors to extreme weather phenomena, as well as emphasized the need, in order to protect the integrity of the asset, to study environment changes and to plan concrete actions aimed at conservation, including social actions, to mitigate the problem.

Extrinsic aspect involves Gilman’s biography as well as social contexts as reference to constitute certain ideology adopted by Gilman and Intrinsic aspect focused on plot, character and setting of “the yellow wallpaper.” The result shows that the homologous of Gilman’s ideology and “The Yellow wallpaper” is related to feminist ideology. Her social and personality background revealed that she is a feminist activist. Gilman propose how the women tries to free from patriarchy system is by using rational imagination. The main character of “The Yellow Wallpaper” is a woman; a new mother who suffer from post-partum depression. She is able to see that most of women are hide behind the domestic pattern. The result shows that a woman who got an oppression and subordination by patriarchy system tends to have mental disorder and depression.

As the world copes with two parallel catastrophic events-climate change and COVID-19, this article examines how visual art students in South Africa used the pandemic period to imagine a better world, a green economic recovery, and a closer connection with nature and biodiversity. The visual conversation that this new generation of artists created provides a lens for engaging with a world in change. They generate inspirational and resourceful ideas, calling on us to be participatory and inclusive as a fundamental aspect of being human, evoking imagination to create alternative visions in collaboration with others. New understandings through visual research can provide a foundation for developing collective strategies toward economic and social security, and flourishing individually and as community.

This article is aimed at presenting the main assumptions of the opening education in the context of the need to develop regional, intercultural and pro-environmental education. The reflections and diagnoses presented in the text draw on both the author’s research and teaching experience, as well as on a critical view of educational policy developed in Poland. The author asks if opening education can be used as a tool for the democratizing and ecologisation of knowledge, shaping an open society and social imagination. In the context of late capitalism, the dominant neoliberal rationality, the multiculturalism of the world, the climate and environmental crisis, an important aspect of the discussion is the diagnosis of the need to practice opening education to the future.

The article is a review of the book edited by M.K. Gorshkov Historical Consciousness of Russians: Assessments of the Past, Memory, and Symbols (Sociological Measurement) (Moscow: Ves Mir, 2022. 248 p.). The author identifies the key characteristics of the theoretical-methodological tools of this sociological diagnostics: analysis of civil identity through the national-state symbols; identification of specific features of the historical memory of social, regional and generational groups about the significant achievements of society and the state; representativeness of the sociological data provided by a multi-stage stratified sample. The article describes seven most significant characteristics of the historical consciousness of Russians as factors strengthening the civil identity and the country’s sustainable development. The author argues that the book has both theoretical and practical significance due to being based on a comprehensive multi-aspect analysis of the historical consciousness and to providing grounds for a national strategy for sustainable development and for new approaches to teaching sociologists. The author makes some proposals of courses that would help younger generations of sociologists to develop critical thinking, historical consciousness, and sociological imagination.

Full textAbstract:
Social media users hardly know who is reading their posts, but they form ideas about their readership. Researchers have coined the term imagined audience for the social groups that actors imagine seeing their public communication. However, social groups are not the only aspect that requires imagination: In the potentially borderless online environment, the geographical scope and locations of one’s audience are also unknown. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that imagined audiences vary between people and situations, but what explains these variations is unclear. In this article, we address these two gaps—the geographical scope and predictors of imagined audiences—using data from a mobile experience sampling method study of 105 active Twitter users from Berlin, Germany. Our results show that respondents mostly think of a geographically broad audience, which is spread out across the country or even globally. The imagined geographical scope and social groups depend on both the communicator and the usage situation. While the audience’s social composition especially depends on tweet content and respondents’ sociodemographic characteristics, the geographical scope is best explained by respondents’ biography and personal mobility, including their experience of living in other countries and local residential duration.

Full textAbstract:
In conditions of modern social changes and the transition into an open society, the issues of value-worldview attitudes and orientations of a person in the communication process have become more significant. The key problem of communication is the mechanism of communication, which translates the individual process of transmission and perception of information into a socially significant process of personal and mass impact. To analyze this issue the authors investigate the meaning of the communicative action as a separate initial act of the person’s communicative activity. This article defines the meaning of communicative action as an achievement of the common agreement and substantiates that the transition from non-verbal forms of communicative action to verbal ones expressed the process of development of abstraction in synthesis with imagination in the cognitive sphere of human consciousness. As a result, it became possible to formulate general norms leading to community integration and the development of individual identity. If the meaning of communicative action is to coordinate the interests of interacting communicants, then the meaning of the communicative space is to unite them based on already developed and agreed common values, which is of lasting importance with the self-preservation of the community and determining its future. The information society foregrounded pragmatic and axiological issues, created conditions for the necessity and possibility of understanding the multidimensionality of a person, understood as the multitude of their identities and plurality of their self-expression. In these conditions, the inseparability of the general meaning of communication in various spheres of human activity is actualized, which consists in integration of people, in pursuit of higher values - truth, goodness and beauty in this being, otherwise, the communicative action and communication as a whole will remain just technical means of communication between individuals.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of science and religion means the fusion of science and religion. But it is not completely mixed because it has its characteristics. The integration of science and religion is likely to happen in the Islamic paradigm because it is based on the concept of tawhid. Science and religion need to cultivate awareness of holistic and comprehensive education. This study aims to explain and analyze the integration of science and religion, especially in the Islamic education system, using library research, which collects data by understanding and studying theories from various literature related to research. The results of the study concluded that the integration of science and technology has implications for Islamic education, among others: first, it has implications in terms of curriculum, delivering students the desire and ability to conduct research (research) in the fields of science to find then the "connection point" with the objective reality that occurs in religious areas. Second, implications in the teaching and learning process, teachers develop creative imagination. The role of teachers with the power of creative imagination is to create certain methods so that students can absorb lessons quickly and completely. And third, implications in the aspect of religious social education. With an integrative paradigm, students will be invited to think holistically and impartially in living the plurality of beliefs and religions to foster mutual respect and respect for differences in religious beliefs.

The purpose of this Paper is to familiarise readers with the concept of Human Development. An individual's growth spans several domains, including the social, spiritual, cultural, emotional, legal, intellectual, etc. Education plays a crucial role in this progress. Literacy is the key to success in every aspect of life. Human resources are essential to the development process. Human resources include things like education, experience, aptitude, character, imagination, and so on. Human resources are crucial to the growth of people everywhere. Education broadens one's perspective on both oneself and the world. As a result, it has far-reaching positive effects on their quality of life and the social well-being of the community as a whole. The more people are educated, the higher their output, innovation, and technical progress will be. Education's ability to cultivate professional, social, and communication skills is vital to ensuring economic and social progress and a more equitable distribution of resources. When placed in novel circumstances, humans' thoughts might shift. That being the case, progress in human development is ongoing. Societal factors and educational opportunities both play crucial roles in shaping an individual's potential. The human being is a social animal with the capacity for growth through learning. As a result, education plays a crucial part in advancing humankind.

The purpose of this article is to understand how hospitality is portrayed in films produced with the support of a program developed by the government in the State of Minas Gerais [Brazil]. The methodology of this qualitative research included a bibliographic study and content analysis of eight films. The results showed the complexity of interpersonal relationships in hospitality. The evaluative aspect that permeates hospitality can occur in different environments, establishing new practices and rituals during the process of receiving-hosting. Domestic hospitality predominates in the films analyzed and it is women who assume the role of hostesses. Another relevant result refers to socially marginalized contexts, in which reception can take place on the doorstep itself. It is concluded that the audiovisual productions analyzed portray several nuances of the hospitality phenomenon present in the Brazilian social imagination.

Abstract: Angélica Gorodischer began publishing in the mid-1960s, establishing a reputation as a writer of speculative and science fiction, as well as of narratives that resist neat categorization. She has also been classified as a feminist writer and as a postcolonial writer. Across genres, Gorodischer's work foregrounds a poetics of storytelling and world-building, often through tales of voyage and discovery. Gorodischer highlights the social aspect of storytelling, implicating listeners in the narrative and offering a critical perspective on the circumstances portrayed. Gorodischer's world-building includes the invented galaxies of science fiction imagination as well as quotidian minutiae of contemporary Argentina. This essay will consider the connections among storytelling, world-building, and translation, drawing on examples from a number of Gorodischer's stories and their translations, among them my own translation of her novel in stories, Trafalgar .

Full textAbstract:
Public perception and imagination tend to view natural disasters and catastrophes as phenomena that impact everyone equally. However, they do not occur in a historical, political, economic or social vacuum. Every phase and aspect of a disaster - its causes, vulnerability, preparedness, aftermath, response, reconstruction, the scope of the disaster and the price paid in the end are, to a lesser or greater extent, socially conditioned. Natural disasters actually replicate and amplify existing social inequalities and their effects. Such was also the case with hurricane Katrina. Black people, the poor, the elderly... remained in sunken New Orleans because their economic and social exclusion diminished their possibility to escape the disaster (the same way it diminished their opportunity to escape poverty). Had Katrina been a mere accident of geography and ecology, it would have been possible to peacefully await the resolution of its aftermath. However, because the inequalities which Katrina made apparent have deep socio-historical roots, it was illusory to expect that they would be repaired by the public policies on offer. Because of this, Katrina remains a powerful reminder to those advocating for a more just and democratic society.

Full textAbstract:
Prospection (mental representation of the future) is an aspect of imagination that has recently become a focus of attention for researchers on memory. Evidence from a variety of sources points to episodic memory and future-thinking as being very closely linked and both are connected to well-being and mental health. This article provides an overview of some key findings linking episodic memory, future-thinking and well-being. Similarities and differences between episodic memories for the past and thoughts about the future are reviewed. It is suggested that the uncertainty inherent in future-thinking implies a greater role for semantic memory in how people think about the future compared to how they remember the past. Understanding how semantic and episodic knowledge combine to create representations about the future has the potential to help elucidate ways in which people experiencing psychological distress think about the future.

Full textAbstract:
Resume This article aims to foster a deeper understanding of the current clashes between modernist republicans and Islamic conservatives in Turkey. Through an examination of the relation of conservatism to modernity, I argue that there exists a conservative goal of ‘overcoming modernity’, though in a paradoxical form, which is crucial for our comprehension of this conflict. Central here is the Islamic conservative resistance to the ‘cultural program of modernity’. Indubitably, it would be fallacious to impute to (neo-)conservatism an orientation that challenges modernity in toto. Indeed, one need only consider the economy and technology to see how far the modern has captured the conservative imagination. However, the culture of modernity is a different matter and this is the aspect I concentrate on here. After first examining the (old) conservative reaction against the great transformations of modernity, I consider the contention that Turkish society has recently become conservative, and end with an analysis of republican opposition to recent government acts.

The author discusses the presence of death in the social public sphere in the context of Polish national identity. She describes the area of popular collective imagination that is part of a broader category: religiousness arising from folk culture. In the Polish public sphere the traditions of death are represented by two trends: the myths of the Passion and Martyrdom. The internal ties of the Polish tribe are sustained by the cult of ancestors and the practice of mourning, the symbol of which is Our Lady of Dolours from the pictures in Częstochowa and Licheń. As a consequence of the dolorous aspect of Polish fundamental tribal emotions people spontaneously organize themselves during religious and national festivals which commemorate the events that entailed a heavy toll of human life. The arche of the Polish death is terror, mourning and redemption by a sacrifice of blood.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this seven-month study is to closely examine the pre-school children’s activity which represents the stepping stone of reading interest as the fundamental aspect of literacy. The subject chosen were 38 students of two Prekindergarten–Kindergarten in Landungsari village, a citified area of Malang city, East Java Province, Indonesia. Doing initial survey, holding structured interview, reinvigorating the existing facilities, and networking with the local social units were the integrated approach done to intensify the study performed. Furthermore, the role of family and volunteers whose attention was dedicated to children development was also observed to find out their support in nurturing children to love reading. Aside from pilot data and primary data, secondary data from the local government recording the people’s education within the environment of the observed subjects were used as references to the prevalent reading culture. The result of the research disclosed that 28 and 15 children attending the two Prekindergarten–Kindergartens exposed their self-development through creativity based on their imagination after listening to the selected storytelling materials. Additionally, building visual communication and increasing numeric vocabularies were crucial indicators of the research subjects to love reading. The rise of this reading interest, nevertheless, cannot be detached from the collaboration between teachers or guides of the pre-schoolers and the individuals who are committed to the education of early age children; not to mention a conducive atmosphere and supporting programs from both formal and informal institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents a valuation method of social costs of road accidents and collisions in Poland, which was developed in the Economic Division of Road and Bridge Research Institute. In addition to personal losses (expressed in physical victims of road accidents) and emotional losses (in relation to a victims' circle and their loved ones suffering mostly in the emotional way), the economic costs fall into a basic category of consequences of road occurrences. The high share of all these costs in the economy of countries (an average of over 2% of GDP), gives them the economic dimension of a problem. Moreover, the results of a detailed analysis of their structure convince that it is worth considering the process of road safety in a broader context, not just a transport one, but social as well. Dangers posed by road traffic and expressed as personal and emotional losses are still undervalued by a society and a governing body. That is the reason why the motorization education including the economic aspect can be effective: financial arguments appeal to the imagination of each homo economicus. From the operational level, unit costs of accidents in the form of the value of life and health of victims, are an essential element of the economic viability valuation of road projects, based on an analysis of social costs and benefits of road users. For this reason the choice of valuation methods for socio-economic costs of occurrences is essential and that is why it has been the subject of research in the field of transport economics for a long time.

Full textAbstract:
The proposition of the author is that sentences about sentences (meta-sentences or sentences of the 2nd order) about physical phenomena are examples of conscious thinking, i.e. the elements of consciousness. The argument is that psychical phenomena (acts of thinking or imagination) are phenomena of the second logical type: phenomena of phenomena. In other words, the individual psychical world (the world of individual consciousness) is described by a meta-theory of physics (meta-physics), while the social world (the world of social culture) can be described by a meta-meta-physics, i.e., by doubled-type description by means of sentences two logical types higher than those of the physical world. The objects in the physical world (particles, bodies, animals, persons, etc.) are defined as open systems, relatively isolated in a hypothetical physical closed universe, i.e., open systems having internal and external energy of interaction. The role of subconscious activity of the brain is also considered and explained, as well as the importance of genes and hormones for an emotional proto-language in animals and humans, and of the human language as a social software being the base for proper human consciousness. The aspect of open systems is here only slightly touched. It will be discussed in more details elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
In an online graduate-level early childhood education course, the authors sought to playfully disrupt and transform educators’ conceptions of children’s “dark play,” as provoked by contemporary popular culture. Embracing the imaginative potential of darkness and liminality, the course participants problematized and expanded their thinking concerning what constitutes children’s play scripts focused on themes of fear, power, and violence. Cognizant that some educators are reluctant and even refuse to allow children opportunities to engage in play centered on troubling social issues, the educators co-authored a fantastical tale, inspired by the Disney animation film Frozen, and included course topics, classroom observations, and their own childhood memories of “dark play.” Vivian Paley’s ideas about the connections between storytelling and play provided a creative impetus to the fictional narrative-imagining exercise, as did Hans-Georg Gadamer’s notion of Spiel. Eliciting the literature of children’s play experiences through fictional story-writing, and “play” as a contemporary aspect of creative thinking, the educators entered imaginary worlds of their own making. Unlike a traditional online graduate course format that often incorporates textual readings, posts, and responses, the authors strived to foster a virtual space in which the educators buttressed theories about play and imagination in a deeply felt, experiential, and playful manner. In creating an imaginary story based on the film, the participants gained a different understanding of the nature of play, and came to recognize how popular-culture play themes can provoke and strengthen children’s imaginative and abstract thinking, problem-solving skills, and emotional development. Likewise, this narrative experience showed the potential and role of “dark play” in initiating new ways of thinking and talking with children about the complex issues of the modern world.

Full textAbstract:
The geography, histories, and ethnic composition of the Latin American continent pose a great challenge when attempting to identify and describe the region’s constitutive religious traditions and experiences. This task is further complexified by the hybridity, fluidity, and porosity of the region’s cultural groups. However, there is an aspect of Latin American religiosity that shares a significant family resemblance across the continent: the small community settings in which religiosity often emerges and consolidates as a worldview, commonly known as Ecclesial base communities. Informed by liberation theology, these communities are a uniquely generative experiment in social, political, and religious life. Scholarly accounts of liberation theology fail to identify key aspects of how Ecclesial base communities generate ways of being, knowing, and making meaning. While many of these accounts depict liberation theology as a socio-political discourse of theological origin, they do not unearth the multidirectional interaction between political practice and theological thought at the heart of these communities. In this paper, I aimed to fill this gap in the literature by reframing liberation theology as a set of social imaginaries, making use of Paul Ricoeur’s theories of memory and cultural imagination to provide the philosophical ground to understand the lived theology of Ecclesial base communities. In doing so, I maintain that liberation theology is not only a theoretical discourse that emerges from these communities, but also the inarticulate background of their ways of thinking, communicating, and living, one that provides an existential orientation through which Latin Americans can provide coherence to their collective action and recognize their own capacity to change their reality of oppression.

Full textAbstract:
Although the nature of science (NOS) is recognized worldwide as an important aspect of promoting the understanding of science subjects in schools but very little research has been conducted in this regard in the Rwandan context. This study investigates the status of Rwandan senior secondary physics students’ views on NOS aspects. The instrument for data collection in this study is made up of 30 items adapted from “Views of Nature of Science-B”; “Student Understanding of Science and Scientific Inquiry (SUSSI)”; and “Views of Nature of Science-C (VNOS-C)”. After establishing the reliability of the instrument, we administered this questionnaire to 148 senior secondary physics students from four schools (i.e. randomly selected two boarding schools and two day schools) from Kicukiro and Kayonza districts. Frequency, mean, and standard deviation were calculated, and a t-test was used as part of the data analysis. The findings of this study indicate that many of the students have strongly held and naïve views about all targeted NOS aspects. The naïve views are predominantly related to the tentative nature of science; empiricism; the relationship between scientific theories and laws; social contexts in knowledge construction; and scientific methods, compared to other remaining targeted NOS aspects which are observation and inferences; and imagination and creativity. The study revealed that, overall, students’ understanding of NOS is not influenced by gender or school location. However, a more detailed look shows slight variations between male and female students on some items.

Full textAbstract:
eader witnesses an Australian wishfulness read in the triumphant adventures of the small – of domestic objects brought to life through the imagination of children. In McFadyen’s highly didactic tales, clothes pegs stolen and deliberately misused come to embody an understated national ethos with biblical pretensions. The Peg family sail the world in their “Ark”, spreading antipodean wonder, cheer and ingenuity everywhere they go. The Pegs themselves – as home-made toys – represent the imaginative ingenuity of Australian children. These are toys any child could make, and so may be read as a social leveller. The dream bringing them to life is that of decent, healthy children and the Pegs (as post-war family, sans father, strive to set themselves and the world good standards).
Every anthropomorphism is deservedly read as comment on the human race or some department or aspect of it, and in this case it is Australian class, race and national pretensions which are promoted through the vehicle of mainly exemplary characters who, in their travels – for the sake of plot – negotiate a series of mildly ethical crises, and always come out smiling.
This paper proceeds by considering the issues raised above in relation a small number of episodes from the tales: these dealing with the invasion of rogue mice, the creation of the Pegmen, with Pongo (from the Congo) and the Australian Aborigines, with the Peg’s expedition to Antarctica and with the metamorphosis of swagmen into grey kangaroos.

Full textAbstract:
In Mozambique, the Portuguese language, associated with the promotion of national unity and consciousness, has become not only a political-administrative vehicle but also formative of communicative models and a bolster for socio-economic values. By force of the internal structure of the Bantu languages and African imagination, the Portuguese language is dragged toward new, innovative creations, where two aspects can be highlighted: the decomposition of segments of the Portuguese language imitating the Bantu phonetic-discursive sequentialization and metaphoric creation. It is this latter aspect we will be focusing on. The metaphor, provoking breaks in discursive sequence, brings cognitive contributions that are disturbing to our encyclopaedic knowledge. The metaphor, contrarily to metonymy and synecdoche, the metaphor creates categorical conflicts from which new perspectivizations result. The metaphor’s neuralgic crux is to establish negotiations between encyclopaedias. And the “encyclopaedias” focused on (“starting point” or “frame” (Pt. “quadro”) encyclopaedias) are those which result from daily life, from daily concerns, as are “corruption”, the “police” and the “politicians”, economic difficulties, the pleasures of life and the great moral principles of social life. The metaphor found in Mozambican Portuguese generally obeys the parameters of the metaphor: the concrete serves as a basis for abstract things, the physically perceptible is transferred mentally and contemplates all verbal categories: names and verbs, adjectives and phraseologies, idiomatic expressions and proverbs. The semic and classematic aspects are object of unexpected transferences. It is a new ontology in constant gestation.

Nowadays, digital technology is a vital aspect of teaching. Therefore, it is essential for pre-service teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) to develop an identity that fits the current needs. In response to this demand, this study aims to explore pre-service EFL teachers’ identities in relation to digital technology, particularly gamification. This study employs Wenger’s social theory of learning, especially the Engagement, Imagination, and Alignment modes of belonging. This study involved four pre-service EFL teachers from two different contexts in Indonesia. Data on participants’ involvement in digital gamification were collected from the written history records of the participants and semistructured interviews. Data collection during seven weeks of the participants’ teaching practice were analyzed to grasp how digital gamification influenced the development of their identities as pre-service EFL teachers. The findings indicate that the participants encountered identity struggles in using digital gamification to negotiate their identities while accomplishing teaching practice in placement schools. Likewise, they claim to have developed a number of identities such as contemporary, tech-savvy, innovative, and up-to-date pre-service EFL teachers. The results of this study assert that initial teacher education would benefit from focusing on the identities of pre-service EFL teachers. This implies that pre-service EFL teachers need to continually maintain their ever-changing digital identities and that schools need to provide pre-service EFL teachers with additional technological resources.

Full textAbstract:
This essay questions a critical consensus about Thoreau's first book, A Week on the Concord an Merrimack Rivers, as a pastoral elegy for his brother and best friend, John. Reading A Week from a geographical perspective, this essay argues that Thoreau anticipated professional geographers by eighty years in conducting a dynamic analysis of the transformation of New England's landscape. Thoreau re-creates through description and narration the appearance and disappearance of the pastoral, the Native-American, and the industrailized landscape along the two rivers. Presenting these ladnscapes in dynamic interrelation with one another against the backdrop of New England's still wild nature, Thoreau historicizes New England's changing topography and thereby criticizes the American pastoral myth about a timeless "golden age" of the "New English Canaan." This reading encourages us to regard Thoreau not only as a private literary artist but also as a scientist and social satirist. This essay also reveals Thoreau's geographic imagination, an important aspect of his mind that has been overlooked so far by Thoreau critics and the general reading public alike.
